Vin is a Philly boy who shouldn't be invited into your house because he'll judge you on your book and music collection. He owns Dawkins, Utley, Iverson, and Lindros jerseys, which is all you really need to know about him. He can be reached at vin@sportscolumn.com.
The Cowboys are Vegas darlings to win the NFC this year. Is it the drive to play on home field for the Super Bowl? Did Tony Romo get a new girlfriend? Is it all the America’s Team fans driving up the betting price? Who knows. The Cowboys have the most talented roster in the NFC [...]

Dear Redskins fans,
We’re not that different you and I. We’re football fans, we’re rivals, we both want to win the Super Bowl. We’re basically neighbors who don’t like each other. For the past 10 years, you’ve been looking at the car that’s been parked in my driveway, a high performance shiny model, getting up there [...]
After watching 98.6% of the NCAA basketball tournament over the last 4 days (hey, the NCAA wrestling finals are on too as I discovered when I inadvertently switched to ESPN), I’ve concluded this has to be the best opening week in tournament history — well, at least in my tournament watching history. (There [...]
It was right there for the taking. Or the shaking, if you will. The Sixers, the fans, the organization — so close to shedding the dead weight of Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodala’s contracts — and Ed Stefanski let it get away.
There is no guarantee the deal was in place and that [...]
If you are a hardcore football fan, Super Bowl Sunday creates a dilemma: do you watch the game per your usual routine (either alone or with a small group of knowledgeable football fans) or do you join the hoi polloi for a Super Bowl Party?

Are you undecided on whom to root for in the 2009 World Series? Well, I’m here to tell you that the Phillies should be your team — for the next week or so at least.
Around here, we don’t take kindly to bandwagon jumpers. The thinking goes that if you haven’t suffered through [...]
A semi-wise man once wrote, on this website no less, that it’s always better to write joy. And so while I had every intention of writing about the bewildering circus that has become the Eagles early 2009 season, the Phillies clinching the NL East tonight in convincing fashion has me switching topics. Why ponder the [...]
A couple of weeks ago, while we were broadcasting Poor Man’s PTI, RJ called in and informed me that the Eagles had just signed Michael Vick. Like the rest of football America, I was shocked and dumbfounded. Not because I had any objection to Michael Vick being back in the NFL but because I had [...]
It ain’t easy being a Philly fan these days. I’m a 5 for 5 guy (Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, FC Cheesesteaks) but lately, it’s getting harder and harder to root for all the Philadelphia pro teams.
The Flyers continue to tease but disappoint. The Sixers trot out the albatross that is Samuel Dalembert and expect [...]
